I completely agree, I don’t feel the desire to go after any real chase in this set. Are there some cool cards? Sure. But in terms of a reason to open boxes on boxes of it I don’t feel it. The greninja is solid like you said. More importantly, shining fates was the beginning of the turn for sword and shield where knock out sets started to roll in. Come holiday season 2024, we might be seeing the beginning of the real scarlet and violet highlights! Who knows. Keep up the great work as always man, loving seeing you post 👍
Charizard Pikachu Greninja Blaziken Is a hype 🔥 They underrated My boy Sceptile and Swampert 😢 didn't saw any ex gx v vmax of Swampert. Kanto starters are also a hype.
Surprised you didn't showcase the Kingdra promo. Also, Kingambit is just an illustration rare collection box. Although, it is really solid art for an IR. Hard to tell with the set, definitely will be on sale and product won't be sparse for quite a while once it releases that's for sure. The art for the loyal three is quite solid, different approach. But at least for the Japanese version, the texturing is really good on them. Nice little "pop".
They understood that my boy Greninja is a Hype. So they understood the assignment and making a lot of Greninjas. Feeling so much good. They also shouldn't Ignore Sceptile , Blaziken And Swampert. Literally it's crazy they didn't make any gx v or vmax off Swampert
The promo cards outshine everything else from the set. Maybe these cards look better in person? I feel like the backgrounds are bland, and I won't have to worry about spending a lot on this set. I will get the ETB just because I like to display them and the Greninja and whatever else is just a bonus, or look for singles.
@@jankomeisel9568 the loyal 3 cards are pretty average but I agree the ir cards are really cool, they always seem to be. The Duskull line, Houndoom, and Persian for sure.
I think the Persian still has a Team Rocket aesthetic with the black and red color pattern. Love the Houndoom too. I'm not too sold on the top 3 illustration cards tho ...
im also curious to see the demand for persian. its the only card i really want from this set and im sure im not the only one that feels that way. also, imo the loyal three just stink. not just as cards but as pokemon 🤣 shrouded fable gets a magic johnson no-look heehee from me
Definitely seems like a bottom tier S&V set. Promos are the only good cards. Don’t see a card that I’d pay more that $10 for. Will definitely skipping on this set
Im getting the kingrda / greninja combo and thats it. 45 special for both. Cancelled my pc etb. Might skip stellar and just wait for something else. Im loaded on sv stuff I love. Esp pe, pr, tm, tf, 151 and pf I think sv is being slept on right now with most being so Forward looking. Ive been buying 400-500 dollar booster box cases since the fall. Im bullish af on the first half of sv.
Ehh the Houndoom is super underwhelming IMO and I love Houndoom. My boys favorite Pokemon is Houndoom and he agrees, you could say we’re both disappointed lol
>Shining Fates is still available for retail price and the set was released 3.5 years ago *Looks back to 2019 and earlier, when most product would take about a decade before any significant uptick in value* Modern collectors are so greedy; if it doesn't go to the moon immediately after going out of print, it may as well be worth 0.
Let's not sugar coat things too.. The set sucks in terms of SIR. When the promos out due the whole set... Well okay ill save my money on this one. We've seen what the eveelutions collection boxes can do. These could do 40-60% of that rate i believe. They really are that good!
It really looks like they are trying to make a multi card secret rare for shrouded fable that line up together but they don't. Either way, Shrouded fable looks worse than rebel clash so ill pass until they put some real value in the set. Loading up on Twilight. That is a pretty solid set. Don't get me started on that Penny Either.
All the sir's are lackluster imo, you can see they are running out of ideas. Back in the days everyone would have laughed at these weird looking pokemon. They should take their time and make actual good artwork with cool pokemon instead of some weird ass fluo colored looking animals.
the purple and green colors on the box look cool, and different from most of the other sets, so that's nice. its a bit like the unit 01 color scheme from 'evangelion', haha. i really don't care about those legendary pokemon though so its hard to get excited to collect much from this set. not much from SV has really been a draw to me, just picking up a few cheap singles here and there if I like the pokemon or art. tera types, loyal trio...i don't find them so interesting personally.
I think for the competitive players the set is decent but maybe there will be a certain illustration rare or secret rare that is popular, I also think some of the promos are really cool but im not sure if the set will really do well.
yes i prefer the Greninja and the others as promos, Pokemon is an expensive hobbie with too many great artworks to buy and collect so as a collector im happy to get some for cheap once in a while
This set, apart from the select few that you've pointed out, looks like very underwhelming. A year out, I'll buy singles to fill my S&V art binders but that'll be it.
I like how the greninja sort of works well with this set, but I would prefer the set more than the plastic because of some of the pulls that the box can offer.
@@phillips.collectibles but the cards haven't even been announced.. how can you base if a set is weak purely based on color schemes.. I feel like you wanted to be first out to this set but your content quality lacks because of it
Honestly don’t love some of the art style of the hits.. with that being said, the most random cards sometimes spike, so some might get a nice price because of pull rates. Less people buying the product, harder pull rates (if they continue the trend), and you might find the set rise in price due to scarcity more than popularity
As a player, this set is great and I am very excited for it as it makes my Charizard deck better. As a collector, I kind of agree with you. I really wish the promos were actually sirs as they are the best arts in the set 😆
They could have done so much more with this set. There isn’t one single SIR I wanted. The cards are playable for sure but aside from the IRs and the greninja and kingdra promo, there is nothing I feel like chasing. Imagine if they put a darkrai. Ehh. I’ll get my promos and wait for the dragon set.
I think with absolute units for promos, if it has good pull rates, its going to do great 👍 People will buy for the promos and stay for the opening experience
Shrouded Fable is in an odd spot where the new legendaries are still VERY new. Simply put, it’s going to take some time for people to see if they really like the Pokemon. IMO, Terapagos is a much more standout legendary and will do a much better job headlining SV 07
The thing the SAR cards are lacking are the other 3 displayed together with it. The colors of one card does not really stand out and is missing something, but all 4 in a frame would look good.
I don't prefer easy to acquire cards. Idk, but it feels like it takes away the excitement and I prefer that one special moment of happiness when I finally pack a hard to get card...
I honestly think the Kingdra promo is slightly better than the Greninja one. And I do agree that making them promo cards kinda diminishes their quality just a bit 😅
I agree with you 🎉 Ofc Pokémon company put this awesome art greninja promo card in boxes , is because want take more money 💰. I want this so much ofc because i collect black Star promo card. Lets see..❤
It’s so tough tbh. I really want to like these sets, but man if they’d just be smart and but that greninja and Kingdra in the actual set, make them like a 1/600-1/700 packs to pull, this set could be so amazing. But alas… The problem is not nearly as many people know the new Pokémon as in depth. I appreciate them needing to keep up with their new Pokémon by including them in sets, but no reason they can’t bring in more well known Pokémon in the main set as a chase.
You know a set is trash when the best cards are the promo. While twilight masquerade isn’t great, it has one of the best artwork of Chansey and Eevee. Also the trainer SIRs were on another level.
Like others pointed out, once people see this set, they be like finally i have time to complete my 151, paldean fate, shiny treasure ex, crown zenith, vmax climax etc.
@@phillips.collectibles what an absolute waste of a beautiful SIR. Pokémon needs to wake the F up. Wow. Two great cards wasted. I’m not buying this set. The rest of the cards are not worth opening this set. I’ll just buy singles of the cards I want.
A few great art works but on not so popular Pokemon and the best SIRs being promos does this set no favours. Looks like it's going to have a really small set list as well so it shouldn't take too long to master/ pull the chase cards. Can't see this being a great return on investment.
I had something to say but I will keep it to myself. I love your videos BTW. Im down from 285 to 210. Off topic, but appreciate the content keep it up.

Oh you said it, I didnt have too. Thank you for that.
2024 has been a year of BAD decisions for Pokémon. Shiny Treasure was a disaster. Shrouded Fable is going to be as bad. There's a lot of wonderful art this year, but it's not good enough. The DLC was really poor, and Pecharunt is.... one of the worst Pokémon designs, ever. What is it? A Fig? A blob? The Sie Nanahara promo is amazing, though.
1.)The Houndoom I imagine will do well, as I do the Persian, but is that art not Persian in one of Giovanni's mansions? 2.) No love for the Horsea AR/IR?! 3.) The whole lackluster SIR thing has been my opinion since TEF, but tbh it's kind of refreshing, they've reserved SIR's for the "feature Pokemon" (Loyal 3 + Poltchageist in this case) and allowed a few Pokemon you don't often see as Secret Rares / IR's.. 4.) I ordered the Kingambit and Kingdra ex Promo Box's, decent value and contents, the Full Art Promo's look like SIR's, which I like, would love the whole Horsea-Kingdra evo line in the set! Another great video brother, value content, good information, honesty and top notch delivery and editing! Love your work bud!
I wish pokemon would stop putting the best looking cards into promo box’s and things, the sets would benefit soooo much more with just some of these promos being able to be pulled! ie. Charizard upc promos, eeveelutions promos, mew ex 151 and mewtwo, the list goes on
Yeah agreed on this. I understand as it probably helps the sales of these smaller boxes, though the Greninja and Kingambjt deserve a spot as a rare chase!

The set stinks lol you can say it....I do like the Kingdra and Greninja tho, they are stunning...it's a shame they weren't pulls in the set
Hasn’t…..even….released….yet….
He’s making predictions. It feels like Pokémon go to me. Small set, not much to chase. I feel it should have been joined with twilight mask
It doesn't interfere.
Are….you….okay?….
And? The artworks aren’t going to change
@@skylargrant7616are you?

The accessibility of the greninja and kingdra is a collectors dream. I’m here for it 🎉
Im excited since I play the tcg im excited for pecharunt and fenzidipiti
I think the Persian still has a Team Rocket aesthetic with the black and red color pattern. Love the Houndoom too. I'm not too sold on the top 3 illustration cards tho ...
Does anyone think it’s worth preordering the PC ETB. I’ve gotten the PC ETBs of the last 12 sets but I’m on the fence with this one
The Pecharunt looks cool
That persion card looks like the same room they’d be in Giovanni’s charisma 151
the pack art reminds me of Holon Phantoms fsr
Too early to tell
lol dude looks like penny no wonder he like that one
Made me laugh haha
im also curious to see the demand for persian. its the only card i really want from this set and im sure im not the only one that feels that way.
also, imo the loyal three just stink. not just as cards but as pokemon 🤣 shrouded fable gets a magic johnson no-look heehee from me
Yeah they could have done better on the L3 that’s for sure! And Persian seems like a winner
Definitely seems like a bottom tier S&V set. Promos are the only good cards. Don’t see a card that I’d pay more that $10 for. Will definitely skipping on this set
Love your profile pic
@@phillips.collectibles Thanks!
It's hot salty garbage.
Worst special illustration rares/alt art I’ve ever seen 😅
They’re not great no
Im getting the kingrda / greninja combo and thats it. 45 special for both. Cancelled my pc etb. Might skip stellar and just wait for something else. Im loaded on sv stuff I love. Esp pe, pr, tm, tf, 151 and pf
I think sv is being slept on right now with most being so Forward looking. Ive been buying 400-500 dollar booster box cases since the fall.
Im bullish af on the first half of sv.
I vibe with the SIRs, I’m artistic and they exceed my expectations. Also I’m a collector before an investor.
I don't see myself getting any card other than the promo Greninja/Seadra.
Ehh the Houndoom is super underwhelming IMO and I love Houndoom. My boys favorite Pokemon is Houndoom and he agrees, you could say we’re both disappointed lol

Promo cards are the best cards lol imma buy a few of those just for the promos, i don't even care about the packs lol
Big problem is the S&V and DLC pokemon kind of suck
Well the entire is catered to players again not surprising them being a great engine alone incentivises the product to be opened

Good point here Matthew. I agree with that for sure!
This is worse than Shining Fates. This is more like Champion's Trash.
Definitely a miss here. Best card is a promo😂😂😂! At least shining fates has a Zard!! This set has nothing except the penny
Yeah I feel you bro!

The mask of change loyal trio were more deserving of sar then these
The fezandipiti is my favorite out of the bunch.

Awesome touch!

You’re the best Black Star collector out there!

How do you not have like a million subscribers? You're one of the best talking about Pokemon🎉🎉🎉
I appreciate that man!
The only chase card for me is the zorua ilustration rare. love the art
That’s a good one too!
Houndoom ?
@@86Brasco not soo much i realy like the zorua
I like this greninja more than the SIR from twilight masquerade
I love it as well!
I just want that Lucario card love that artwork.
The SIR artworks are a little lackluster but i bet they will still look great in person all shiny and sparkly
For sure these things can change
Twilight Masquerade was also supposed to be weak but it’s doing very well
This is true!
The art style on those illustration rares is not appealing
I got a night wanderer box on launch day, pulled the Persian, which rocked!
That's awesome!

I got some kingdra and greninja boxes …
you forgot the cresselia, that’ll be my chase probly
Love that card as well!
Kinda glad. Would like to catch some air between sets.
Yeah I feel this!
Finally a Houndoom! This will be my chase card
Mine too!
I already preordered a full case!
Aside from the Houndoom and Persian....I feel this set is super weak. Will be a good time to save money for that hopeful Team Rocket set in 2025.

The "battle styles" of the s+v era
For me, i think I’ll just have the boxes with the greninja and kingambit. Those two are beautiful ❤
No Kingdra? And the Persian literally matches with the Giovanni 151 SIR.
Love how hard you’re trying not to call the SIRs absolute trash
Mid!

sup
Dudes tripping....😂
Will only be getting the greninja kingdra in a psa 10 and 1 pokemon center etb. Moving on never looking back.
That Persian to me comes off as a different perspective of Giovannis Charisma from almost.
It looks weak af

Who the hell cares about a promo? Worth sod all could have been a chase card

I might get an ETB from shrouded Fabel, but that’s probably it.
Standard or Pokemon Center?
@@phillips.collectibles at this point, I am not sure. it’s easier for me to get the standard ETB at a reduced cost from a local game store.
